Well my 2nd gear is shot... slippin like hell. I guess my model and year of bike it notorious for it. Well i'm selling the POS at the end of the summer so If someone knows of anyone that can fix it for cheap let me know. I know lonnie said he knew someone but i forget who. THanks guys

 

dont get it fixxed......sell it and put a down payment on a new bike

 

HMMMMMMM...........I thought the only problem you were having was a fuel problem????? LIKE RUNNING OUT!!!

 

Only true way to fix it is to tear your engine apart, split the case, and fix the shifter forks, and possibly the gears if they got f'd up in the process also. Cheap way is to have a friend do the work for you.

 

Had this problem, yes you have to drop the motor split the cases, and mine was the shift drum, 2 shift forks and 3 gears, plus washers spacers etc... And not to mention the bore in the case that the output shaft of the transmission rides in was cracked which I didnt notice the first time I tore into it so 1500.00 dollars and two operations later it was fixed.... So to make a long story short if you tear into it inspect everything not just the obvious...

 

Or you could save money and find a new one on e-bay and hope that it isn't already trashed.........chances are though it is

 

I got the perfect parts bike for you where you can just swap out motors... i know a guy out here in CT. its a 98 , i think it may be the same thing.

I'll fix it for you fast and free.

Ready?

Shift from 1st to 3rd. Problem solved.
I did it for 2 years on my ZX-6

 

Run the rpm's up high and front tire still comes up....

 

or, just start in second gear lol. prob solved :YEAH

 

that's exactly what i'm doing... i just want it fixed temporarliy when i go to sell it

 

There isnt a temporary fix, its gonna kick out until torn down....

 

When I traded my ZX-6E in, on a TL1000R back in 98... the salesman said he had to check it out, and took it out on Telegraph. WaaaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHaaaaAAAAAAHHH I heard it pop out of 2nd about 3 times in a quarter mile on him. He came back and said, "We can't take this bike in on trade." I sold it to my roommate for $3500. He rode it for a year with no second gear and then sold it...

 

Well, Lonnie told you I could fix it. I'd have to tear it down to see if I could giv it a quick cheap fix.

 

I'm in, let me know when you're free!

 

don't forget to get that frame welded

 

Here's some advide...learn to use your clucth properly...

 

F**k off... talk to anyone with the same bike as mine, happened to them too

 

But I will be honest mine pretty much came that way and I had nothing to do with it...
